5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old LOVED this toy!!
My daughter caught onto the Princess and the Pauper craze a little late, so it was difficult to find the coordinating toys. She plays with the horse and carriage everyday, re-creating scenes from the movie. She does find it easier to work without the horses attached.

my daughter received both of these items for a gift. the horses will NOT stay connected to the carriage at all and she is 6 and gets very frustrated playing w/ it. the carriage moves fine on its own, just can't use any horses. same with the saddles coming off and going on. as far as the vanity, very tippy on carpet as i was putting it together. i wouldn't let a child snap the pieces of the long white rods-wouldn't trust not to break. not impressed. only had out of box for a day, will see how long both of them last. we however got them as seperate buys. not as joint deals!

This review is from: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Deluxe Giftset: Horse & Carriage and Double Wedding & Vanity Playset (Toy)
My 5 year old daughter was very excited to receive the horse and carriage from Santa. Excitement quickly turned to frustration. The horses come apart from the carriage after being moved a couple of inches, even if moved very slowly. The carriage now sits on her dresser with her favorite dolls. It's a pretty carriage, just don't expect to get any play time out of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be great if it stayed together, December 28, 2004

We do not have the vanity/wedding table set, but my daughters recieved the carriage for Christmas. They really like using it, but get frustrated with it very easily because the horses will not stay attached to the carriage. It's not easy to push this toy on the floor, you have to lift both horses off the floor in order to move it smoothly. But the second you move the horses, they become unattached from the carriage. The carriage itself is great. It rolls smoothly, has plenty of room for 2 dolls in the seat and 1 driver. It would be a fun toy if only it would stay together.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheaply made toy very frustrating for children to play with., January 16, 2005

This review is from: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Deluxe Giftset: Horse & Carriage and Double Wedding & Vanity Playset (Toy)
My daughter who is 6 wanted this for her birthday. We got it home and put it together. She went to play with it and the horses fell off of the carriage. She tried putting them back on and couldn't. I put them back on and she went to play with it and they fell off again. She was very frustrated. Now she just plays with the horses and the Barbie dolls we purchased to go with it. She does not play with the carriage at all.

Her 16 month old and 4 year old sister play with the carriage they put their little people and weeble wobbles in it and push it around. Not worth the price we paid at all. Very disapointed in Mattel. I should have talked her into getting the Barbie Learning Notebook which is what she originally said she wanted until she saw this in the store.

I do not recommend this toy at all unless you want frustrated children or if you want to constantly put the horses back on all the time.

2.0 out of 5 stars So pretty but Poorly Made, January 10, 2005
= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Deluxe Giftset: Horse & Carriage and Double Wedding & Vanity Playset (Toy)
Another cheaply made Barbie product. It's so pretty but it falls apart the instant a child starts playing with it. My daughter has resorted to leaving it on her dresser most of the time. Very disappointing item.

dont buy this toy if you don't want it to be thrown across the room!! This toy was a cheap piece of crap. The horses didn't stay on the carriage. My 4 year old gets frustrated. My husband bolted the horses with a nail so they would stay together. Not worth 1.00 neverless 10.00. I paid 30.00 and now I wonder "why is it so cheap? DUH
